Where did “palestinians” come from? An amusing look

[JoelT1]

Palestine originated as a Roman name imposed on Jews and their land of ancient Israel, about 2000 years ago in a futile attempt to erase the Jewish heritage and history of the land

Palestine referred to the Philistines, non-indigenous, non-Semitic invaders from Greece who were enemies of the ancient Israelites. So, the Romans added insult to injury renaming Jews’ land palestine. Arabs did not populate the land and Muslims did not exist. Philistines have been extinct for about 2500 years.

So where exactly did these so-called palestinians come from? Let’s take an amusing look...

Nope. You're confused. Palestine was a province of Syria in 500 BC. It wasn't named after the Philistines. Many of the Palestinians are descended from Jewish farmers who didn't leave after the temple was destroyed . They stayed behind and took care of the ancient olive trees and maintained the Roman terraces and aqueducts. They also intermarried with Greeks, Syrians, Romans, Turks and crusaders.
